Grief, Penitence and Culpability: the weekend in La Liga

I hope you’re enjoying these reports on all aspects of Spanish football. This time, as I hurtle home to Barcelona in time for tomorrow’s Champions League action (I’ll be recording from Camp Nou after their match against Brest), we reflect upon the way Valencia said goodbye to the victims of its floods; a footballer who showed humility when bloody-minded vengeance would have been more to my taste; and some bitter revisionism by Madrid’s messianic president.
